So I had my gastric sleeve done on 08/04/17. I'm 28 yrs old & 5'2. SW:334 CW:296 GW:145 I am still on the 2 week after surgery all liquids diet then I can have diced food and so on. I been moody lately. More today than ever. Feel almost like maybe depressed. I look at my stitches healing and hate seeing them. Feel like a monster. It's in my head mostly. On top of that I had to go to the er last night because I felt dehydrated-ended up just getting meds for nausea. And they said try to drink more[emoji849]I'm supposed to try to get in 60g protein(liquids) and 64 oz fluids. I can't. I feel like even water and Powerade zero all that stuff taste like gross🤢🤢🤢It's hard for me to get anything in because I feel full fast. I'm just struggling a lot. Don't crave food or water. Any suggestions? Advice?

So I had gastric sleeve done 8/4. The day of surgery I weighed 309 lb. Prior to surgery on the pre-op diet I was 334 lb. Since August 22 I have stalled. I been stuck at 288/287 lb. I must admit that's when I started school and returned to work. In school we aren't allowed to eat during class because it's a lab science class-we just can't. Class is 3 hrs long. By the time I get out I'm starving. I usually go straight home make me one egg and feel better. Then I barely have enough time to go to work where it's only part time so I don't get breaks/lunches. I'm there for another 4-5 hrs without eating. I get home by 7/8 pm and I'm starving again. I will admit there's been a couple times where I've thrown up because I eat too fast or maybe too much i assume. I don't know. I'm not eating fast food. Usually I get protein from egg, fish, or chicken 4oz at least. I wonder also if not taking vitamins affect it...someone please help. I have my 6 week check up 9/20 and I don't see how I can loose 15 lb by then [emoji25] Also my exercise consists of walking usually 1.5-2.5 miles a day.

Thanks for the tip! You're right! [emoji846]

Well I know dr said reason for it is because what we now will intake as food consumption to make sure we get all our essentials and stuff in. It's just hard sometimes to remind myself to take them.

Oh great! Thanks. I go next week for check up so I will ask for that. I just feel I guess guilty that I ask a lot from my job. They already work with me for school and I was out an extra week of recovery due to being in the er and admitted after surgery. I will definitely ask the dr about the note though. Thank you!

Oh no. Not at one sitting like through the day. It's still hard sometimes to get stuff in. Water goal intake right now that I'm meeting is 34-51 oz. vitamins I guess and any pills i tend to forget to take. I always been bad at taking any type of pill. I'm starting to take a medicine pill case with me in my purse. It works the days I actually remember to take it with me. Thank you though for replying. I was starting to worry a little.

I had surgery on 8/4 and only family that knows is my husband, sister, mom, dad, & my cousin. That's only because the same as you I was too criticized all the time of being overweight/obese. Say stuff like you would be prettier, if only you were skinny, etc...my aunt asked me the other day she saw me if I had lap band done. I got pissed because she does not like me. She asked all these questions- I stopped her and said I was just watching what I eat better. That's why I did it. So judge mental and just I don't know. She proceeded to tell me she couldn't believe I lost weight and blah blah blah. Family can be destructive to you. You know if it's better to tell them or not.

I got sleeve done 8/4 and about since Sunday I haven't been able to get in any protein in. And water maybe about 8-12 oz the most everyday. Since then I noticed I wake up nauseous and go to bed nauseous. Sometimes it's all day. I don't know if it's because I can smell food and I can't tolerate the smells any more-it just makes me want to throw up constantly. I even experienced gagging and almost throwing up but since my stomach is empty nothing ever comes out. It's horrible. I'm getting worried and scared. I don't know what to do. Water, Powerade zero, and even my protein powder shakes make me sick. I can't drink that much because I feel sick to my stomach. Seriously thinking about going to doctor today or tomorrow. I feel thirsty but get frustrated because if I try drinking fast I end up in stomach pain. I don't know what to do or if anyone has gone through this. I just want to feel normal again. It feels like torture with this nausea and constant feeling of wanting to throw up☹️

Thank you guys so much. I'm glad I called. Hopefully next week once I start on diced foods it will get better. Praying for the best! I'm so glad I found this app! You guys are a blessing !

I went to the er last Saturday they were rude said I wasn't dehydrated enough. Waste of my time. My surgeons office called me and said that was weird that they didn't call the dr on call to confirm I was a sleeve patient. I'm now going to an infusion center as instructed by my surgeons nurse tmrw because I can't get anything in☹️

I called my surgeons office they are sending me to an infusion center for fluids [emoji20] Hopefully this helps me and they gave me prescription for other nausea meds.

Hey just wanted to say I'm 28 I'm 5'2 and my highest weight was 334. I was scared for my life when my husband said I stopped breathing at night and lips were turning blue. I did a sleep study and had severe sleep apnea. It was really hard and emotional to realize how my health was starting to fall. I discussed with my husband about sleeve surgery and he supported me 100%. I told him I wanted to live longer and not be scared anymore. Day of surgery he and I were all over the place lol nerves. Emotions. Everything. We did have the talk about what I wanted if anything bad were to happen during surgery. It's very hard to talk about that stuff and also dealing with major surgery. But, in the end it's your life. Your choice. No one knows I had it done except for my mom, dad, sister, his cousin, and hubby. I'm now 1 week after surgery and I'm down to 296. You can do this if you want it! Just talk it over with your husband:)
